Geocache Description:


Are you a member of the Iconic Fourteener Club?


This is a CHALLENGE GEOCACHE. The cache is located at the posted coordinates, and you may sign it at any time. However, to log it as a find, you must qualify for the challenge. The qualification for this challenge will be easy for Colorado cachers; not so much for "flatlanders". The terrain rating for this cache is based on the actual placement, and not for the challenge.

"I'm not only the owner of this Club; I'm also a member." ~ BearAdair

To qualify, you must find EIGHT CACHE TYPES that each have an elevation equal to or greater than 14,000 feet above sea level. Options include (posted coordinates): Traditional, Multi, Mystery/Challenge, Letterbox Hybrid, Virtual, Webcam, Earthcache, Event, CITO, or Wherigo. Per HQ: benchmarks, waymarks, locationless, and AdventureLabs don't count towards the challenge. They do not need to be found on the same day. The accompanying challenge checker will let you know if you qualify.

(I have nine, but made the challenge for eight since there weren't enough other qualifiers for nine yet)

I got this idea from animjason's Mile High Club geocaches, and he gave me his blessing to do this version.
